Song Library

(Updated May 2015)
S.A.C. Members have the opportunity to submit their songs to multiple libraries for consideration by artist managers, music supervisors, and other industry professionals looking for fresh new music. The Songwriters Association of Canada is pleased to announce we have received an Ontario Music Fund grant that has allowed us to actively build a subscriber list to our Song Library. Upload your music today for the opportunity to be heard by a growing roster of industry professionals.
